@fitbyjeny: If you’re skinny-fat, I need you to understand THIS. 👀 If you’re constantly trying to eat less because you want to look lean + toned, you might be focusing on the WRONG thing. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns at rest. And building muscle can help you maintain a lean physique while eating more. That’s why your goal shouldn’t always be to lose another 5–10 lbs. Your goal should be to BUILD MUSCLE. Because that lean + sculpted look comes from having enough muscle to create shape + low enough body fat for your definition to show. Here’s what I’d prioritize: 🏋🏼‍♀️ Strength training — lift challenging weights + progressively overload to build muscle. 🍗 Protein — eat enough to support muscle growth + recovery. 🍚 Calories + carbs — fuel your workouts instead of constantly trying to eat as little as possible. 📈 The right strategy — depending on your starting point, you may need to build muscle first, lose some body fat or work on both through body recomposition. And while muscle does increase your calorie needs, the difference isn’t as dramatic as you might think. Your activity level, training + overall nutrition still matter. The goal isn’t to eat LESS. It’s to eat the RIGHT amount for the body you’re trying to build. So let me ask you… are you actually eating enough to support your goals? If you have no idea how many calories your body needs, comment “CAL” and I’ll send you my FREE calorie calculator to help you find your starting point. ❤️‍🔥
